Another academic year has ended. It's now summer and vacation time - a time to relax from those assignments, quizzes, exams and projects in school. 

But, for most young Filipino boys, it is a time wherein they would transition to manhood. But why do these young Filipino boys wanted to have themselves circumcised and what really is circumcision in the first place?

Cabucbucan High School Logo

Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas simula ng makatapos kami sa aming mahal na eskwelahan. Ang Cabucbucan High School, isang paaralang sekondarya na nakatayo sa pagitan ng dalawang barangay, sa Barangay Cabucbucan at Brgy. Estrella sa gitna ng malawak na bukirin. 

Pangunahing produkto nang aming mga barangay ay ang palay at sibuyas. Karamihan sa tao dito ay nabubuhay sa mga gawaing pangbukid.

Noong nakaraang ika-labing tatlo ng Abril, nagkaroon ng 3^rd Grand Alumni Homecoming simula sa batch ng 1996 hanggang batch 2006 na may Theme: Reuniting, Remembering and Regenerating. Ginanap ito sa gymnasium ng aming paaralan na dinaluhan ng mga graduate ng kadabatch at mga dating naging guro na nagsilbi sa aming paaralan.  Ilan sa mga ito ay sina Ma'am Pacita dela Cruz, Mena Cayaban, May Guillermo, Emelita Agustin at Sir Apolinario Mendez. 

Universal Health Care and the Philippines

“60% of Filipinos who die, die without health professional attendance.”

What a big percentage and its alarming huh!  Would you want to die without seeing any health care professionals? I bet you, your answer is NO.

Now, this is the time for us to learn, study and know the Universal Health Care; the Aquino Health Agenda.

Universal Health Care?.. What is it?.

Imagine a picture of a poor Filipino patient on a government hospital, with financial incapability to buy medicines, to undergo diagnostic procedures or even pay the hospital bills - a major concern of the family is on how to procure medicines and how to pay for their hospital bills. This is clearly a common situation we found in the hospitals or in other health care facilities in our country, isn't it?
